under AIG. road tax all of you should know how much it is for a 2L.
im quite happy with the car for now, that is

MI recommended a particular tire/rim shop. perhaps later on, i will change to a new set of rims. there's one which im particularly aiming for. i also feel that its a must to lower the car because i notice the front 2 wheel gap between the wheel arc is pretty big. the rear is not so bad. (is it just me or?) if i remember correctly, the RX-8 is pretty much lower.
well anyway, i have to go for at least 3 servicings in order not to void the warranty.

apart from that, they threw in a few freebies; calender, t-shirt, teddy bear, umbrella. they didnt actually threw it in, i demanded for those stuffs. haha.
but overall, salesperson's service is good. documents are all good and i would be getting my car as soon as they register it. cant wait.
Hi, be happy wif whatever ride u r buying,dont be bothered about wats said in here sometimes. some fellas here dont even have driving license for that matter. i'm driving a TC auto too,and wat made me do so instead of going for the "i'm male, see me move stick" concept is simple. singapore roads are more suited to an auto, may it be the 'i dont wanna balance half clutch' on a shopping centre slope of traffic jam,start stop traffic etc.
ur insurance is a little on the high side,u got it thru the agent MI?? i bought a second hand car,so sourced for ins thru my own means, its much cheaper that way.fyi i paid 3300 this yr wif 10percent NCD,i'm 27.
modifications may be fun and especially the process of seeing ur car grow wif u. but u must have a goal and be focus,if not u will end up spending $$$ on things u dont want, dont work etc. my recommendation is go for the 3 servicing first (TC cars quite fast,5k per servicing), then change ur rims,if can retain ur tyres to cut cost. get a set of coilovers to lower ur car,tein superstreet is good value for $$ and the spring rate is not that high. as for bodykits,its what that appeals to u that matters,afterall U will be the one walking to ur car every morning,opening the doors...a nice carbon fibre lip will suffice me tink.. later when u get bored of ur exhaust note, get an LTA compliant catback exhaust system. fujitsubo doesnt do for auto wrx,but i tink trust or apexi do.
MI are quite professional in the way they do things,my friend got his legacy GT at toa payoh. for me,its just that they dont have a model that appeal to me. Enjoy ur ride!!
